Mr. Morgan, from the committee on for eign relations, reported favorably, os amended, his resolution declaring in favor of reciprocal trade regulations with Mex ico. The amendment requires the regula tions to be made, not by treaty, but by leg islation—tho committee having adopted the view originally suggested by Mr. Mor gan, that any arrangements between the two countries ought to be made by the statutes of each. The resolution directs the President to call tho attention of the Mexican government to the subject. The Indian appropriation bill was re sumed. Mr. Call, by unanimous consent, was allowed to offer and advocate an amendment, appropriating $5,00 of the amount of money agreed ni>on inthe treaty between the United States and the Semi- nolei of Florida, to be paid to that part of the tribe remaining in Florida, for school and asricuitural implements to be ex pended under the direction of tho Secreta ry of the Interior. Adopted. The Senate next took up tho Mr. Hoar’s amendment to appropriate $2‘0,C30 for the education of all the Indian children, except those of the five civilized tribes, west of the Mississippi river. Mr. Hoar took the floor m advocacy of this amend' ment. Mr. Plumb followed Mr. Hoar, and took issue with him as to the wisdom of the method ho proposed of educating and car ing for the Indians. Mr. Hoar finally an nounced that be would to-morrow modify his amendment, by reducing the appropri ation to $50,003. Executive session ad journed. nous*.

Second, that so far as possible specific duties' should bo substituted for ml valorem duties, and that in deter mining such specific duties an average | lu- tiaule value of imports daring the last three years shall be taken ns the standard of value, upon which no higher rate of doty shall be imposed than shall be nec sary to compensate for the difference in the cost of labor at homo and abroad ex pended in the prodaotion of each products after making due allowance for the ex penses of transportation, and. that the rate of daty shall not in any csbo, except on lux uries exceed fifty per cent, of such average dutiable valuable. Mr. Hewitt then said: “I am opposed to any bill creating a tariff commission, for the reason that it will make delay, and delay is dangorojs in the present portions condition of general bos- ineia.*’ At the conclusion of Mr. Hewitt’s speech, the oommittee roe.

Adjourned. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Washington, March 33.—Thoijecretary of State this afternoon tclegCjihed to Mini-ter Lowell, at London, to apply for a delay in the execution of the sentence of death in the ense of Dr. Lamson, until the arrival of documentary evidence from this country tending to show insanity on the part of the prisoner, and tbe absence of criminal intent of the offense of which he was oonvicted. This action on the part of the President was based on an opinion by Attorney-General Brewster, that this man was n proper cese for executive inter fore uce. The Secretary of War has directed that the balance of the rations at St. Loots— K),o;j—be transferred to Commissioner Hemingway, at Memphis, for tbe benefit of the]icopleof Mississippi. Representative Reagac, of Texas, to-day conolnded his argument before tho House commerce cimmitteo in advocacy of his inter-State commerce bill. He has occu- pied a greater part of the timeof the com mittee f r the past three days. At the con elusion of his argument, Judge Reagan submitted tbe following: Resolved, That it is the sense of this com mittee that some measure relating to in- ter-Stato commerce shall be adopted by this committee and reported to the Honse at the earliest practicable moment for the river and harbor bill shall have been re ported to tbe House. The resolution was unanimously adopted. C .plain Leathers will. bo heard by the committee for fifteen minute* to-morrow on the subject of tho Mississippi river im provements. CATHOLIC mOVTNCIAL COUNCIL. Washington, March 31.—la the Senato, a communication was received from the At torney General in response to a resolution of the 28th instant, transmitting the cor respondence with Dallas Sanders, which was temporarily tabled and ordered print ed. On motion of Mr. Bntler, a resolution passed reimbursing Mr. Ingalls, of Kant a?, for expenses in defending his title to a scat to the amount of $8,195. On motion of Mr. Jonas, the Senato bill for pnblic buildings in Shreveport, Louisi ana, appropriating $100,000, passed. On motion of Mr. Garland, the House joint resolution authorizing the issue of ra- tiona in the district of the Mississippi over flow, was passed. Mr. Brown asked and obtained an indefi nite leave of absence for his colleague, Mr. Bill. He sold the accounts he had receiv ed of that Senator’s condition were favora ble, but that the physicians could not say at what time he would be able to return to the Senate. Ths Senate renewed tbe consideration of the Indian appropriation biR. Mr. Hoar withdrew his two million dollar education al amendment, and offered a substitute calling for half a million of dollars for the same purposes, and debate on this propo sition proctAled. A long debate ensued, some members in clining favorably to Mr. Hoar’s proposi tion os an experiment in the right direc. the appropriation at $250,(00. Tho amend ment, as modified, was adopted by a vote of 29 to 18. The amendment as adopted is rs follows: “The Secretary of the Inte rior is farther authorized and directed to provide for the care, support and educa tion of all Indian children dwelling west of the Mississippi nnd not belonging to the five civilized tribes in the Indian Territory; or so many thereot as may be practicable, nnder soch regulations as may be approved by the President, in nny of ths Stntes or Territories, at a cost not exceeding $200 per annum for each child, and for this pur pose there is appropriated $250,000. or so much thereof as may be necessary.” The bill then was reported from the committee and passed. The executive session ad journed. Cincinnati, March W.—The Catholic incial Council which met here recent- L"'repared i lengthy pastoral letter 11 the churches. It received at ion to-day in the Catbolio j begins with a review of the jligion since the last council avo, and congratulates the transition trim the mhWOtt condition of fixity. It then goes on to* peak of the necessity of obedi ence to anthority. It holds that, all men are not equal and that men ordained to rnle ns king*, magistrates, bishops and priests have rights which these subjects do not. It is very outspoken on the sub ject of labor unions, and says that man’s labor is his own as much os tbe gold of a rich man, and that he has a right to sel it ns be pleases at fair prices, and so long as men accord to others the same freedom as trier claim for themselves, there is no sin in labor banding togethor for self protec tion, bat labor unions aro Bible to fail and cannot be sustained when they attempt to force men to join the nnim or to work for a price fixed by the anion. Catholics can not be partnors in any attorn* t tj coerce others against the r just rights, or to do in jury to the persons and proporty of others. The letter hn» a 1 >ng paragraph on news- patter* in which it specifically denounces them. It calls it nn illegitimate means used by the Irish World in its advocacy of the cause of Ireland, ant adds: “We are ready to co-operate with the bishops of Ire land in any legitimate effort- to ameliorate the pre= n • unhappy condition of the Irish people." Reverting to the subject of an - tbority, the letter says it is not Catholic doctrine; that all the power comes from tho people and that rulers do not exercise au thority os their own, but as entrusted to them by the people. The Catnolic doctrine is that the grant of power is not givan by the people, but they only designate who is to wield it. As to the priest, the people are commanded to seek law from his lips, and in all matters of civil life appertaining to to faith and morals tho pnest has a right to speak and the people are required to listen. This doctrine, it is arid, may be uupopular with modern ;iberiiisra t but that do.snot prove it untrue. DESTRUCTIVE TIRE. Amherst Maas., Mnrcli 30.—A fire de stroyed Walker Hall, the finest of the Am herst College building*. Loss abont a quarter of a million dollars. The total loss to Amherst College by the burning of Walker Hall and contents is about $135X30; insurance $103,000. The loss beyond the intrinsic value in paint ings, record*, philosophical apparatus and miueralogieal cabinet, will be severely felt. The cabinet was the work of mauy years labor and just been re-classified. MONOPOLIZING TELEGRAPH LINES. At 12:35 the Honse went into committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill. Tho committee rose temporarily, nnd, on motion of Mr. Hiscock, of New York, a joint resolution was passed appro priating ilCO/DCO to enable the Secretary of War to issue rations to persons rendered destitute by the overflow of tbe Mississippi river. The committee then resumed its session, and Mr. Bntterworth concluded his explanation of the hill, which appro priates $27,400,038, being $718,298 in sxcess of the appropriation for the current year, Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, argued in op position to that feature of the bill trans ferring to the court of claims the claims now pending in the quartermaster-gen eral's department, contending that such transfer wonid work great injustice to claimants, particularly to those tho adjudi cation of whose cases had been abont completed. The aggregate amount of driers remaining was abont $9,009,020, and fli,did not think that Congress should change the whole policy of the government and c site a new triban il for the adjudica tion of this class of claims, after having held oat for twenty years; that tho quarter master-general’s department was the tribunal to which claimants should make their spplioitions. If it were proposed to protect the treasury against disloyal claim ants, the investigation shonld be kept up. It was utterly impossible for a disloyal or dishonest claim to creep in nnder tbe pres ent system of adjudication. These claim ants had used every conceivable character of precaution, bat had been fleeced once or twice by claim agents, and ho protested against givingdnim agents another oppor tunity to fleece them again. The debate on this proposition occupied the time an tit the committee rose, when the Honse ad joarned. On motion of Mr. Crapo, of Massachu setts, the Senate bill to facilitate tbe pay ment of dividends to the creditors of the Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company, was |>as*fcd. Mr. Hiscock, cf New York, chairman of the committee on appropriations, rerorted a kill making nn appropriation of $170,CX) to supply deficiencies for dies, paper and stamps in the internal revenue bureau for the current year; and nn appropriation of $113,003 to continue work on the Washing ton monument for the next fiscal year. Ordered printed and recommended. On motion of Mr. Townsend, of Ohio, the Senate amendments to the House bill to promote the efficiency of tiie life saving service, were non-concnrred in. The House then at 12S10 went into com mittee of tbe whole on the army appro priation bill. After some discussion for compulsory retirement, w : thout act the committee rose and the House at 3:10 rejourned. The House committee on improvements of tho Mississippi river to day decided thnt it will be more effective for the com mission to remain in Washington sud look after the appropriations for tbe overflowed districts than to proceed to the Mississippi river for tho pnrjiose of examining and re porting as to the came of the present flood. Representative King’s resontion, providing for the apiioiutment of such a commission, was consequently rejected. The resolution is as follows: Resolvrd, That the people of St Marys are dearly of opinion, founded on actual observations, that the Morgan m<l road embankment is|amoet serious artificial obstruction to free the flow of water from the inundated districts west of the Missis sippi river, is now causing the water to rise at the rate of one inch per hour, threatening the innndation of ths sugar lands on the west side of Teche nnd the consequent destitutions of property and crops of tho value of millions. To the agriculturalists of this parish we hereby specially nud distinctly notify said corpo ration to remove said artificial obstructions to free tbe flow of water to tide level, and in default of water being so allows I a free passage to tide level, we hold said corpora tion liable for tho damage and loss result ing. XJUISOK RESPITED ! Kit Warren’s Advice to Toons Hen. Lekiburo, March 24,1882.—I am going to crawl away from the seething eddies of the political cauldron long enough to spin off a few reels of motherly admonition to the yonng youths who are spiling to nxoriate. Young mao, you have imbibed a good many errors on tho subject of courtigg, and I hereby constitute myself a coart for the correction of those errors. Yon think you’re only courting Betsy. You’re awfully mistaken. You’re courting Betsey and the old man and the old wo man and all the brothers and sisters, and perhaps a half dozen ancles and annts nnd cousins, and if, upon a full vote of the whole family caucus, you are not unani mously approved, it is quite likely the wed ding won’t be did. Yoor boa mots and jeu d'esprits, yam flux de bouche and the bal ance of yonr flummery and tomfoolery may captivate tho girl, bnt old man Thomp son wants the attachment to go into- judg ment only after it lias cotrmenced on sub stantial grounds. He requires that yon shall be orthodox on the bread and meat question; he wants your income to be big ger than your outcome, and your morals a good deal better than yonr immoral*. And right here let me tell you, yon'r not going to fool that old fellow abont yonr circumstances or behavior—you’l not slip np on tho blind side of him—by a very large majority, yon won’t. In his particu lar line he’s a better detective than any that ever hunted Charlie Ross. With on eye forever sknn, he hasj the happy faculty of always dropping round when he s least expected and most severely unwanted. When her littls hand “ties lightly, confid ingly” in yours and tender,gushing wordsof of fondness are about to melt and ubw down, from your ardent tips, the old .nan comes scrambling ioto the parlor, hunting his pipe. Yon stand at the counter, yonr gla*s of sic- half-lifted to your lips, and up steps Thompson asking if tho barkee er’s “got any nigs to sell.” Von are out at the race track, are vociferously displaying the five dollars jou intended to “bet on thebob- tniled bay” when here comes the veteran nuisanoe, hunting the doctor—“brother Jones is wusb.” With four or five boon companions you are away up a lonesome, unfrequent yi alley. The crackers are al ready fastened to the following portion of a desultory nnd immethodical dog, the match is being scraped and the fnn abont to begin. Not a dream of detection in vades the sanctity of the occasion, when sndieLly a familiar voice is heard “joung men, have you seen anything of my spot ted pig?" I tell yon emphatically, you can't fool that old circumstance. I know him; I was familiar with him in the days agoue and his ‘bright smile haunts me still,” every time I have tho night-marc. You see him sitting there in tbe amen pew, hymn book in his hand, head thrown back as though lid were preparing to be drenched, and lungs exuding volumes of sacred stento rism—yen think, when he glances rouna that he’s admiring the nark from the tomb-sh solemnity of your face, but he STIfiPltTVfr TOSS OB' TiTFR* l heys and birds.

[By Telegraph. 1 Memphis, March 33.—-The Cineinnati end New Orleans packet, “Golden City," en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati, was burned at her wharf this morning at 4:39 o’clock. Between thirty and fifty lives—principally women and children— were lost. Memphis, March 30,—The steamer Gold en City, of the Southern Transportation Company’s tine, when approaching the wharf shis morning at 4:30 o’clock, was discovered to be on fire. The discovery was made by Second Engineer Albert Kel ly, who immediately notified Cnpt. Bryce Parcel), senior pilot on watch. The boat’s bow was at once headed for the shore, and in four minutes afterwards touched the wharf at the foot of Beale street, where a coal fleet was mooted. A tine was hastily thrown and made fast to one of the coal barges, but the current be ing swift it soon parted and the burning steamer floated on down the river, a mass of flames, with many of her passengers and crew on board, who were nnable to reach tbe shore and were lost. The Golden City left New Orleans lari Saturday en ro u fe for Cincinnati and carried a crew of about sixty. She had on bosrd forty cabin passengers, fifteen cf whom were ladies and there were nine children. Her cargo ernsisted of three hundred Ions, among which was a lot of jute, und tije fire is said to have originated in tbiscombus- tib’e material. Among those known to be lost are Dr. Monohannnd wife, of Jack- son, Ohio, Mrs. Crary, Circinnati, Miss Lulu Crary, Cincinnati, W. H. Howe, wife and two children, Ollie Wood and wife, Mrs. Anna Slith, tombish solemnity of your lace, put ne ain’t.

Enough on this branch of the subject. ... .. Take my advice, and go slow in making yonr selection. 1 know of no one thin;: that ought to be done in a nurry except o itching fleas. If yon just can’t helo think ing she’s a heavenly body, at least be cer tain to study that paiticntar branch of as tronomy. 1/eam her pa relaxes and eclip ses, the orbit in which she moves, nnd when *he rises and sets. But you’d better not marry nn angel. Marry a flat-footed, practical woman. Yon might wed one of these elegant creatures, a form of match less symmetry, eyes soft as the down on rn angel’s wing und voice sweet and liquid as tbe doxology of a swan, and when you put her to sewing on a button she’ll sew it on heels upward. Dont marry nn angel, angels cant stuff sausages, I mast closo this tiresome letter with a word of wnming. “It is a fearful tbiog to fall into the hacds of a living” coquette. She will lift you higher than Haman and make yon fall worse than Adam. The co quette, [like the poet, is “nates non fit.” She brings her coquetry with her when she disembarks upon the shoro of life. It throbs, like a sentient instinct, in every pulse of her infant being. In the very si lence of her cradle she smiles and she kicks. (>h! she is indeed a wonderful crea ture. Her face, her hands, her form and nil her movements possess a siieech and a lan guage. A thousand times does she tell you sho loves you when only tho features are vocal and the charming tongue lies mute; a thousand times does she grow eloquent with the utterance of sympathy, resigna tion or affection, and yet tho carting lips blush silently on and the kindling eye speaks and sparkles in splendor or gloom. A thousand times does she play tne angel with her attractions in order to be able to S lay the devil with y »u- Don’t court her, on’t, I don’t pretend but what she’ll make a re»l practical woman—alter sho is biled down, bnt yonr courting will be in vain—she won’t have yon. I know she won’t. I’ve tried her myself. And then, too, she is such a cruel calcitratres3. She antecedes the denouement with so mnch blarney that when its over yon fehl ns though you had reached your hand to cuii a rose and accidentally grabbed a wasp nest. I verily believe her decision in nn affaire d'amour is more difficult of fore knowledge than tho verdict of a petit jury. I’ve a great deal of advice behind Vet. Wash-noton, April 1.—Secretary Fre- linghujben received a cable dispatch from Minister Lowell this afternoon announc ing that in deference to ths request of President Arthur a respite of a fortnight had been granted in tbe case of Dr. 1am- son, who was sentenced to death in the Central Court of London on the 14th in»t, charged with having intentionally caused the death of his brother-in-law. Secre tary Frelingliujsen says, however, that this notion on the part of the English govern ment does not imply that the sentence of. Dr. Lamson has been commuted, and most bo construed merely ns affording nn eppor tnnity to the friends of tho prisoner in this country to forward evidenco bearing on the care. SENTENCED TO DEATH.

This fast sjieea. The Cotton Crop and the Floods The New York Herald says: Many of the leading papers published in the cotton belt do not share in the gloomy predictions of some of the Northern journals in’regard to tho losses like y to result from the over flow of the Mississippi river. The New Or leans Picayune places the numbe* of acres of cotton land under water in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas at 585,030. These lands yield on nn average abont 4i’ i,CC3 bales. In 1874, it says, “about tho same area was nnder water. Tbe river did not commence to fall that year at Memphis until April, nnd it w.s the middle of May before planting was finished. Tho same was true of the Alabama river bottoms. It was estimated then that tbe overflowed section pro duced 350,000 bales of cotton. Bat the cot ton crop of the season was reduced only 137.003 bales. At Now Orleans tho receipts fell from 1,147,003 bales to 995,000 bates, a decrease of 152,tC3, showing that on half the laud inundated a crop was made from planting alter themiddloof April. The reports from the inundated regions lead to the hope that the planters will be able to get the crop in this season a* early as they did in 1874. In fact, they are at work now in many places. The overflow has, of conrso, greatly enriched the lands, nnd if anything like good weather prevails it is not unreasonable to hope that a fair crop will bo harvested.

She was valued at $4O,0C0, and' insurer for $30,003 in Cincinnati companies. She was built in 187C, and was one of the best equipped steamers plying between Cincin nati and New Orleans. Tbe government inspectors say that sho was extr .ordinarily well supilied with every modern npptiance calculated to avert t e calamity which lias befallen her. Capt.

Stowe’s circus was taken aboard at Vidalia, Louisiana. Six cages of ani mals and birds, together with the ticket and band wagons, tents and harness, were l-st. ' Marion Purcell, one of tho pi’ots, was in ihe clerk’s office whon the alarm first sounded and he rushed through tho cabin- bnrating in state-room doors and awaken ing passengers. So rapidly did the flames spread that within five minetes after the discovery of the fire, which broke out amid ships, the after part of the steamer wa* all ablaze. Those who were saved had to flee in their night clothes. When the burning steamer touched tho wharf the fire com municated to the coal barge3 in the tng ' riet, whioli was also burned.

When she floated off from the wlmrf about twenty of her passengers jumped aboard a barge which floated down the stream, but they wero rescued by one of the harbor boats, which towed tbe barge to shore one mile below the city. It is estimated that thirty-five lives were lost by tho disaster, but at present no ad ditional news can be learned. Bobert Kelly, second engineer, and three roust abouts arc the only members'of the hint’s crew known to be lost. John Dreffer, steward; Peter Dreffer, cook; John Lamb, second cook; Billy luxford. pastry cook; Mart Whalen, mess-room tender; John Hill, second mnte; Charles Hatvey, second watchman, and a passenger named Bloom- have arrived. . The fiio wn3 caused by the watchman et cidentally setting fire to a lot of jute which was stored amidships. The steamer Lid just whist’ed to land, and the watchman went among tho dock passengers to notify them that they wero approaching Mem phis, and that those destined for that city must get ashore, when the bottom of n lamp dropped in some jute, and before the flames could be extinguished, they had spread all over the deok of tho vessel Bryce Purcell, the pilot, mnde his escape by climbii g over the front part of tho pi lot house, the fire then beiDg in the rear. When t^o steamer touched the whnrf the tug Oriole did not burn asat first reported, but was sunk by the burning steamer. -In making landing, several coal barges and ice boats belonging to Bohls, Hose & Co., caught on fire and were burned. Billy Hodge, the pilot on Dean Adams, saved the cook, who jumped overboard as tho boat floated down the stream, nnd all tbe pissengsrs and crew was kindly cared for by Mr. C. B. Galloway of the Peabody Ho tel. who provided them with breakfast. Two negro deck hands end a white deck peesenger were killed when the tu t Oriole was struck. They were canght be tween the bow of the boat and the Bids of tho tng. Anna Boyd, a colored chamber maid, and her assistnntvere doubtless lost. Mike Malloy and Pat K ; nney, firemen, wero saved; also W. J. Wbelou, second baker. Whelon says he jumped overboard from the stern of tho steamer as she floated down the stream. There were about ten tnen on tho farta’l of the boat who must have been drowned, as wh6n ho leaped in to tho river ho saw tliree men go over board anddtown. and tbe others, ho thinks, mast have shared the same fate. Felix Lehman, a passenger, says there teas a merry party aboard, and nearly all tho passengers remained np till midnight. One or two gentlemen abo- rd played tho piano and they entertained tho passengers with music and singing. The body of an elderly white woman was fo ind floating near tho wreck. Her identity has not yet been proved. Will McIntyre, clerk of the boat, says the list of the lo*c cabin passen gers already furnished is correct as nearly as ho can remember. Mrs. L. E.Kouuz, and h«r three children, who aro lori, was tho wire of Capt. Kounz, the well-known steamboat owner. Those mentioned as being at tho hospital are all injured by burus, but not seriously. Tho passengers lost all their clothing. Those who wero saved liad to flee for their lives, without taking time to save their eff cts. Abel Bntler, of Donaldsonville, Louis iana, with his wife and child escaped frem the burning steamer in their night clothes. A. B. Veatch, formerly river reporter on the Evansville, Indians, Tributie, was on board. He remained long enough to dress himself before leaving his stateroom. J. H.

He stated that he was ssleep nnder one of the animal cages on the forward part of tho lower deck, when the cry of lire was given. He leaped forth, looked abont, but saw no fire ; then he looked a?ain and saw he entire center of the boat in a mass of flames. As soon as the boat touched the coal fleet he jemyed ashore. He raw the officjrs of the steamer at work making the hawsers fast; then he saw the tines give way, ami the steamer swing out and drift down. The cage containing lioos sank down in the middle. of the flames which enveloped it. Hi heard no cry from any of the animals as they were being burned alive. The six cages contained lion*, ti gers, two leopards, an Albino deer, mon Mr. Stephen* lo Retire and Write An other Booh Congressman Alexander H. Stephens in tends to retire from public life at ’he ex piration of the pre*ent Congress. In con versation with a Herald reporter to-day, he was asked if the reports to that effect were true. “Yes, that is true,” said he. “In fact, when Iran for Congress in 1880, I made np my mind to retire as eoon as the term expired." “How long have yon been in pnblio life ?” ho was asked. “I have been in pnblic life quite a num ber of years. When twenty-four years of age, I was elected to tho lower house of this Georgia Legislature. I served five years, and in 1841 declined a re-election. A year later I was elected to the State Sen ate. Iu 1843 I was elected to Coiig-es*.” You were elected successively for a number of years .to Congress, were yon not ?” Ye?. I stayed there sixteen successive year*, and, declining a re-election, retired voluntarily March 4, 1859. Secession, as I anticipated at that time, did come, ana the result i3 too well known to require com ment here. Afrsrthe war I was, in 1866, unanimously elected to the United States Senate during the administration of Presi dent Johnson, bnt being denied admission went home and wrote my history of the war between the States. After that I was elected to the House from my old district, and have been here ever since 1873." “What U yonr reason for retiring to pri vate life ?” “I am now past seventy years of age and feel bb if my declining health and physical disability render it proper that one more capab’e of performing the du ll e 3 of the position should take my placi. This is not a very elegant way of stating it. You con say that retiring is due to my age an s. infirmities. I wish thnt the re-, mninder of my days, should they be ex tended to the end of the present Congress, be spent in quiet and rest. T he labors of a member of Congress are too heavy for mo to discharge as I ought to. I could never consent to hold any office the duties of which I am physically unable to dis charge. I never assume a pubtie trust un less I think myself equal to its duties.” “After your long public service, are you still a Democrat and in sympathy with I u b&ve always b*en a Democrat, but an independent Democrat. I have never acknowledged a legiance io any party. It y allegiance hap been doe to prin ciple, rnd party organization I have never held to bo o her than subordinate to the great essential principles of constitutional government as announced by Jefferson and maintained by the fathers of the Republic. In that school of politics I was born and reared, and in it I expect to die.” COLLEAGUES OF 108 TOr-HI. “How many of the members of the Con gress to which you were first elected are iere or living?" "Let me see. There aro no members now of either branch—Senate or House— who were here when I first entered Con gress. Several who were then members are yet living. I can now recall as among the living, Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine ; Hamilton Fisb, of New York; General Cligman, of North Carolina; Armistead Burt, of South Carolina; George W, , ana donn r. iiaie, or aewnamp- . There is a man yet Uving who be- ) very distinguished, Robt.C. Schenck, no. Ho figured largely in the civil Jones, of Tennessee; L. Q. C. Elmore, of New Jersey ; David L. Yolce, of Florida ; Or lando B. Ficklin, John Weutworth and John A. McClernand, of Illinois ; George P. Marsh, of Vermont, and Mr. Ramsey, late Secretary of War under President Hayes. All these and some others, whose names I do not reoall, aro among the men now living who came in with me in the twenty-eighth Congress. When I first came to Congress, Yulee was delegate from Florida, and he afterward represented tho State in the Sen ate. There was quite a shoal of new mem bers of Congress who came in with mo in 1813 who made a deep impression on the history of the country. Besides those just named as now living who stood promi nently before tho country in the arena of K lriics, I might moction Stephen A. Doug- i, of Illinois : Andrew Johnson, of Ten nessee ; Howell Cobb, ot Georg>; Jacob Collamer, of Vermont; Robert McClelland, of Michigan (subsequently Secretary of tho Interior in President Pierce’s administra tion), and John P. Hale, of New Hamp shire. cam© of Ohio. 'Ho figured _____ war. Now, there is still another list of men with whom I was associated when I first entered Congress. That is to say. among the living men of to-day who were in Congress when I came in, and were diriinguished at that time, are Ken neth Raynor, of North Carotins, now so licitor of the treasury, and Robert Win- throp, of Boston, who was afterwords Speaker of the House. This list, you see, is quite small. Bat hore is a larger list, for it embraces the names of those who were distinguished leaders at the time I entered Congress, nnd who are now dead. This list, as I recall it, embraces the following men: John Quincy Adams, Henry A. Wise and George C. Dromgold, of Virginia; Dave Johnson nnd Aaron V. Brown, of Ten nos see; R. Barnwell Bbett, of Sonth Carolina: the two brother*, Charles J. and Joseph R. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania; James J. McCoy, of North Carolina; Gar ret Davis of Kentucky; Samnel Ginton,of Ohip; Governor Vance, of Ohio; John B. Weller, also of Ohio, and John Slidell. Amongthe distinguished men who had been in before I came to Congress was Thomas Butl-r King, of Georgia. I hen there is Robert M. T. Hunter, who ought to come in tins list and also John White, of Ken tucky, who had been Speaker. I almost forgot to mention Lynn Boyd, from the Paducah or Purchase district in Kentucky, who was afterward Speaker, and David Barnard, who was one of the distinguished men from New York. David L. Seymour, of New York. waB another able man who came in during my time. In fact, he was among this school of which I have been speaking.” “Were there many of these ?” “Yes. There were at least thirty in the school. There were more men who distin guished themselves that came in when I did than at any subsequent or former peri od. They wero men who distingmshed themselves either for good or barm. I am ashamed to say that many of this school did more harm th ngood. Now, this is about ail I can tell j ou now. By tbe way, there was rather a strange incident con nected with my departure from Washing ton, March 6th, 18o9. As my steamer was going down the Potomac, I looked back nnd while gazing on tbe receding domo of tho capital, some friends, who saw my meditative mood, approached and said, ‘Yon most bo looking up there uud thinking of your re-election to Congress?’ In reply to this I said, ’No; I am taking a last look at that dome, for I never expect to see it or bo in Washington avam until 1 come ns a prisoner of war.’ The steamer sailod down the stream, and soon diatncco and the shadows of night had hidden the domo of the capitol from my view. Would yon believe me. when I next visited Wash ington aid gazed on that dome I was a pa roled prisoner of war who hud just been re- .ensed from Fort Warren.

A gentleman once asked a distinguished dis pensing druggist to explain the secret ot the almust universal demand for Dr. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine, lie satd that It was In fact a genuine medicine—such a com pound os every good physician would prescribe lor tho disease which it Is advertised to cure. Of course it costs less than any druggist would charge for the tame article supplied on a physi cian's prescription, and, besides, there was a saving of the doctor's fee in addition. More over, by buying the drugs In sacb enormous quantities, and having a perfect apparatus for compounding the mixture, he was uot only en abled to get better articles in the llrsl place, but also to present tiie medicine in better form nnd at less price than the same preparation could be possibly obtained from any other source. Dr. Richmond has devoted nil his energies to the alleviation of human suffering. With this end in view, and with his whole heart In his great labor for tbo benefit of tbe afflicted, ho has achieved marked merit and success. There can be no real success without true merit That his suc cess Is real is evidenced by the fad that his reputation as a man and a physician doe* not deteriorate, and the fact that there is a steadily increasing demand for the Samaritan Nervine proves that it Is no noctmm, but a reliable remed v. lie has repeatedly Informed the pub lic that tt Is no patent medicine, and no patent has ever been asked for or obtained. Neither does he advertise it as a cure-all. There arc hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure. It may be urged that tome of these diseases arc so widely different that It seems absurd tea prescribe the same remedy.. They may differ In symptoms, yet in character be precisely the same; and then we must take Into consideration the fact that remedies may possess various properties.

New Orleans, ApriYl.—A special tothe Timcs-Dcmocrai, from Morgan City, dated yeste-day, says from this city to Chuca- honla, 19 miles in tho direction of New Orleans, the country is one vttf t stretch of water, varying in depth from throe to six feet. The water throughout this section has risen five inches in tho last twonty- fonr hours. At this hoar, 10 p. m., it is rising at tho rate of one im>h every, four hours. At Fayttteville, 14 miles east of here, tho water is eight inches belcw tho flood of 1874, while here it is fonr inches above that mark. From Chucahoula to this place there is no land visible, save a small mound at Tigerville, and os you ap proach Morgan City some small sections of lend are barely showing above the surf see of the water. In many place* tbe water reached half way to tho ceilings of tiie bouses, and the fences are completely covered. Where ever it is possible, the people are clinging to their homes and living on improvised floors. Nearly all took warning in time and drove their stock to Terrebonne ridge, or to this plnce, and from here large quan tities have been shipped across the bay to tho high lands on the west bonk of Teche bayou. Tho wide diffusion of the water g reventa strong currents, and hence bnild- >gs and fences have not been materially damaged. Morgan City to-day presents a fair parallel to the third district of Now Orleans daring the overflow from the lake, abont a year ago. Five-sixths of it is nnder water, varying from six inches to six feet in depth. Skiffs are utilize 1 on the streets for communica tion along the principal business block-, and sidewalk* have been erected some four or five feet and in mostof tho buildings false floors have been improvised' Ttfere is, a* yet, no special distress among the people. They meet their misfortune* with cheerlnl patience, accepting the inevitable, but hoping for a speedy subsidence of the waters. . New Iberia, April 1.—Lake Teche is still rising at the rate of eleven inchrs in twen ty-four hour*. Father Coughlin, polish priezt at Lo-cnaville, on the east side, eight miles from here, reports 1,200 persons now homeless on nccount of the flood, and ap plications for shelter in his church and sta bles are nua erous. He is asking lor local contribution?. Their distress is appalling. The Red river water through Bayou Court- enloau, as well as of that of the Mississippi through Atchafaiaga and Grand Lake will certainly bring us to tho level of the lake. We are now past tbe high water mark of 1874 and wilt probably exceed it two feet or more. Franklin, La., April 1.—The water is rising one inch per hour. Thirty-six hoars will submerge Frank in and tho back country prospects are alarming. At a meeting of the citizens of St. Mary’s par ish held to-day, a committee was appoint ed to confer with tho Governor, State en gineer and President Morgan of the Lou isiana and Texas railroad company rela tive to the alarming aspect of water threatening the inundation of the M est as li has the east side of Bajou Teche, and request that an engineer be detailed to examine and report whether or not there exists any artificial obstructions to free the passage of water to tido lovel, and whether or not the removal of such ob structions in the parish of St. Mary, Terre bonne or Assumption, or if either of them will not prevent the overflow of land on the west side ot Teche, in St. Mary’s, and the destruction of crojis therein.
